When Should I Unfollow A Twitter User?

This depends on what your purpose is. Sometimes people on Twitter will unfollow users who aren’t following back. While other users on Twitter will unfollow users who’s tweets they don’t like reading. In our experience, it’s always best to follow people back if they follow you because it keeps people happy and more engaged with you. At the end of the day you want people to read your tweets, so if they aren’t following you, there’s not a whole lot of point of following them.

Unfollow users who don’t add anything positive to your experience. You are there to network, market, make a name for yourself. If someone is spamming… unfollow that user. If someone isn’t following you back, unfollow that user.

Why You Must Never Automate Unfollowing of Users

Twitter simply does not allow it. You want to make sure that when on Twitter, you unfollow users manually. This doesn’t mean spending 10 hours a day doing it. With MarketMeTweet you can generate a list of people who are not following you back, and choose who you’d like to unfollow. It’s important this is user controlled, because there could be some people you wish to not unfollow, even if they are not following you back. Celebrities for example, they rarely follow anyone but you still may enjoy reading their tweets!

How To Lose Twitter Followers
